High Bog.

 

Frequent heavy showers.

 

I didn't intend to go to the bog, so I didn't have appropriate footwear. Nevertheless I managed to get a few shots by judicious hummock-leaping.

 

This is Bog Asphodel. The whole plant is brightly coloured from flowers to stems and leaves.

Sundew was also evident in a few places. I've never seen the flowers open.

    

 

The first Cinnabar moth Larva I've seen this year.

Another specimen of Amblyteles armatorius.

 

A very small (4mm) hairy beetle.

 

A red-tailed ichneumonid.

The first fungi of the autumn season - Sulphur Tuft. I have a feeling this might well be a good (and early) year for fungi.
